control of the positional relationship between a sample collection instrument and a surface to be analyzed during a sampling procedure with image analysis

a personal response system 10 includes a plurality of camera assemblies 12 each having a camera 16 constructed and arranged to capture an image of information 18 on material that rests on a surface below the camera

for inspecting an object to be inspected which is capable of gradation display according to a captured image of the display surface of the object to be inspected is provided with a defect search section

and, responsive to identifying the visible primitives, generating, within the processing pipeline of the GPU, vertex attributes only for the vertices of the visible primitives in order to determine surface properties of the graphics image.

the system may be operated as desired to generate a display image on the display of the handheld portable device, and to project that display image onto another surface, such as a vehicle windshield screen or wall
